One of my favourite pots by Bigei.

Bonsai Thursday.

A bit of work done on an Itoigawa juniper today.

-------------------------------------

A new pot by Barry Somerville.

Also cleaned and coated with Jin seal.

Natter night 27th January 2020.

My Monday nights just seem to get better all the time,the enthusiasm of my visitors is making Boxy and I feel the same way.

-------------------------------------------

Graham's Larch ready to be wired.

There is a lot to do.

Bottom branch done.

Not quite finished, maybe next Monday.

Ken T brought back his Shohin Willow to show us how much new growth it has put on.

Just for size comparison.

Ken M, your Larch need to have foliage on before you can hide behind it.

Another one done.

I have been busy again this morning.

---------------------------------------------

Hawthorn over rock windswept.

This young tree had been fixed to the rock some time ago and planted on it's end in a deep pot.

Now it has been planted flat in a nice WSC pot.

Looking quite good.

White Pine.

Most people will say it is to early to be potting, but as I am retired and have the means to keep my trees frost free, I have done a slip pot into a Barry Somerville pot.

-------------------------------------------

No roots were cut in the potting.

It had been placed in a much larger pot to recover from being to wet.

The secret is to cover the soil with rubber and so control the amount of water it gets.

Bonsai Thursday.

We have had a play with this ceramic rock and some Junipers today.

---------------------------------------

Turned out quite good.

New material.

I have just acquired some new material to work on to create  Bonsai from.
